| 29 | | What can Lotus | | |
| 30 | | Map Do? | | Lotus Map links data in your worksheet to graphical |
| 31 | | | | representations of that data. Just as you would create a bar |
| 32 | | | | chart to illustrate a range of worksheet values, you can create |
| 33 | | | | a map that links data in a range to recognizable geographic |
| 34 | | | | regions such as states or countries. |
| 35 | | | | |
| 36 | | | | For more information, search on "Map overview" in Help and go |
| 37 | | | | to the "Mapping Overview" topic. |
| 38 | | | | |
| 39 | | Using Lotus Map | | |
| 40 | | | | To create a map, set up a range of map data, select the range, and |
| 41 | | | | then choose Tools Map New Map. |
| 42 | | | | |
| 43 | | | | For more information on creating maps, search on "Map overview" |
| 44 | | | | in Help and go to the "Creating a Map" topic. |
| 45 | | | | |
| 46 | | Map Display | | |
| 47 | | Resolution | | Maps can be created and displayed in two resolutions: regular and |
| 48 | | | | and high. By default, maps are displayed in regular resolution. |
| 49 | | | | Regular resolution is satisfactory for most monitors and printers |
| 50 | | | | when displaying maps in their default size. However, if you increase |
| 51 | | | | the size of a map, zoom a map, or print a map to fill a page, there |
| 52 | | | | may be a decrease in the quality of the resolution of the map. |
| 53 | | | | |
| 54 | | | | To maintain the quality of the resolution of the map when increasing |
| 55 | | | | the size, zooming, or printing a map to fill a page, you may want to |
| 56 | | | | switch to high resolution. For an example of a high-resolution map, |
| 57 | | | | see the map in the Pins sheet in this file. You can switch the map |
| 58 | | | | resolution by editing the 123R5.INI file. |
| 59 | | | | |
| 60 | | | | To switch to high resolution of maps |
| 61 | | | | |
| 62 | | | | 1. Quit 1-2-3. |
| 63 | | | | |
| 64 | | | | 2. Open the Windows Notepad. |
| 65 | | | | |
| 66 | | | | 3. Choose File Open. |
| 67 | | | | |
| 68 | | | | 4. Enter c:\windows\123r5.ini in the File Name text box and |
| 69 | | | | choose OK. |
| 70 | | | | |
| 71 | | | | 5. Under [MAPS], change the default setting from mapres=0 |
| 72 | | | | to mapres=1. |
| 73 | | | | |
| 74 | | | | 6. Choose File Save and then Exit. |
| 75 | | | | |
| 76 | | | | Maps can now be created and displayed in high resolution. |
| 77 | | | | |
| 78 | | | | What happens to existing maps when you switch from |
| 79 | | | | regular to high resolution? |
| 80 | | | | |
| 81 | | | | Existing maps will not automatically switch to high resolution. You need to |
| 82 | | | | redraw existing maps in order for them to display in high resolution. |
| 83 | | | | |
| 84 | | | | To redraw existing maps |
| 85 | | | | |
| 86 | | | | 1. Choose Tools Map Set Redraw Preference and select Manual. |
| 87 | | | | |
| 88 | | | | 2. Choose Tools Map Redraw. |
| 89 | | | | |
| 90 | | | | This will redraw all existing in maps in the current file in high resolution. |
| 91 | | | | |
| 92 | | | | Effects of creating and displaying maps in high resolution |
| 93 | | | | |
| 94 | | | | Creating and displaying maps in high resolution causes the |
| 95 | | | | following conditions: |
| 96 | | | | |
| 97 | | | | ░ More detailed display of maps on the screen |
| 98 | | | | |
| 99 | | | | ░ More detailed printout of maps |
| 100 | | | | |
| 101 | | | | ░ Longer time to draw and print maps |
| 102 | | | | |
| 103 | | | | ░ More space is taken up in the spreadsheet |
| 104 | | | | |
| 105 | | | | ░ More memory is required to create and display high resolution |
| 106 | | | | maps |
| 107 | | | | |
| 108 | | Note | | Lotus recommends that you have at least 8MB of random access |
| 109 | | | | memory (RAM) with a 16MB swap file before switching to high |
| 110 | | | | resolution. |
